Are all of the former and current Luna Parks throughout the world that exist or have existed related to the same parent company?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.65.109.102 (talk • contribs)

  • No, they can be categorized in a few ways: there were three or four which were connected directly to the Coney Island Luna Park and its designers; the Frederick Ingersoll Luna Parks (he was responsible for about 44); the ones between 1912 and 1945 which were essentially copycats of the previous Luna Parks; and the post-World War II Luna Parks that are basically "carrying on the tradition." In addition, every amusement park in Turkey (and, I think, Greece) is called "Luna Park" regardless of official name. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 01:57, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Futurama Reference[edit]

Futurama made reference to Luna Park in "The Series Has Landed." In this episode, a park of the same name is located on the moon. The mascot has a striking resemblance to the entrance in Sydney.

Bad syntax[edit]

This sentence is pretty bad:

Today, the term luna park or lunapark means "amusement park" in several European languages. These include Indo-European languages such as Polish, French, and Italian, as well as in Greek (λούνα παρκ, loúna park).[7] In Turkish, a Turkic language, lunapark means "funfair", a similar term.[8]

It suggests that the writer is unsure whether Greek is an Indo-European language or not; anyway the 'in' doesn't belong. It should read "such as Polish, French, Italian, as well as Greek" or, better yet, just "Polish, French, Italian, and Greek".

Also, what is the relevance, here, of the linguistic families to which these languages belong?
